The irony hits me midway through my dreamy soak in a Hungarian Mineral Pool: the Fairmont Banff Springs  is located in the midst of some of the most beautiful outdoor scenery in the world,  yet the resort is doing it's level best to keep me inside. And it's working. The most irresistible tool in the hotel's arsenal is the Willow Stream Spa. After a 2.3 million dollar facelift in the Fall of 2003, the spa was named 2004 "Best Spa in Canada" by the readers of  Luxury SpaFinder Magazine. Today the 38,000 square foot, completely refurbished facility is a watery wonderland complete with that addictive Hungarian Mineral Pool, which is kept at 98.6 degrees and is full of minerals that are said to naturally rejuvenate everything from skin to joints.
